Mine actually fits but I like for it to ride up a little bit higher on her neck rather than her chest just to keep the vast in place

Sorry to hear that. I haven't had that issue with mine. The way I set the chest strap on my GS, is loose enough that you can run 1 but no more than 2 fingers under it, there will be some slack, however, I don't think is that significant; the other 2 abdomen straps w/buckle, loose enough so you can run 1 finger under them. I hope this helps.

yes. it's a long skinny velcro strap. we take a fanny pack on our walks so we can hold our bags and training treats for our puppy. i'll buy more bags when we run out.

I've been using this for a while and it's an excellent device. As any strap, it can be made shorter or larger by pulling one of the ends; it's hard to explain in writing but any person who has one in your gym should be able to show it to you. Good luck!Ronald/Paraguay

This fits Medium sized dogs. I have a 100+ pound male German Shepherd Dog and this doesn't come close to fitting. I also have a 90 pound pitbull, and this will not fit around his chest either. I tried to order the "extension buckles" from the manufacturer twice, and they sent me the wrong item both times and shipping took forever. I cut my losses and gave the harness to a guy with an Australian Shepherd, which fit it nicely. Amazon fails to mention that you need these "extensions" for bigger dogs.

This large one may be too big....the top Velcro strap might be a little higher than 12". But you could use extra tie-downs, as mentioned.

I found the directions to measure around the chest from behind the front legs to be accurate as to size. Our German shepherd was growing so fast that got one size larger which she quickly grew into. It is highly adjustable and a very sturdy vest and easy to adjust. Good luck with your pup. Ours belongs to Seeing Eye so we have to give her back; it will not be easy.

No. It's all velcro. I need to redo my rating on this thing. I do schutzhund, and my dog has worn this thing out twice. The lifting handles gave first, and the chest strap second on both of them. I have gone with a custom rig, that had alpine cobra buckles.

as long as you get the correct size for your dog it should fit, you can adjust the strap to make it as wide as you'd like. you should make it just loose enough for the dog to lap up water.

with my 22 1/2 pounder I checked into dog harnesses, they don't have the velcro security I feel I have with the ones made for cats, if you can find one made like the kitty holster instead of just straps, measure girth and neck size and go to a pet store and see if they carry the vest type, usually all they have is for little tiny dog.

How big is your dog?! I had to shorten the straps to the max to fit my 60lb Rottie mix. This harness is not designed for elephants.

I think it would be best for you to contact the seller of this harness. I no longer use the harness. Previous answer by David is excellent. Give that loving doggie a bit hug for me.

Not as in a pull strap, but there are two separate areas with Velcro that the sticky end of the Velcro can attach to. It works well for me. However, you need to be careful about making it too tight as it could cause some ear problems for dogs with floppy ears 9I have a English Cocker Spaniel).

I'm sorry but I didn't do that. I went more by the overall size of my dog. She is only about 6 to 7 lbs, so I went with the small. The neck and chest straps are adjustable. Hope this helps you.

The velcro strap and the buckle go across the tummy and the neck. With the dog facing you, simply put their paws into the holes and close the velcro and then the buckles. See picture - this is the model we have: http://www.palaceofpooch.com/store/images/Puppia%20Purple%20Jacket%20Dog%20Harness3.jpg

I'm not sure the exact length of the strap that it comes with; however, it is pretty long and made so that you cut off the excess. Since our dog is a medium sized dog, we cut it to 20". Hope this is useful.

My gsd is about 5 months and he fits in it he weighs around 55lbs . U just pull it through the clips to tight it and then strap the slack to the Velcro on both the belts the neck strap may need to be strapped to the Velcro because it is big around the neck

depending on the size of dog you have the collar will fit a large dog with no problems. I have no issues with my german sheperd. If you have a medium size dog like my mini aussies you will have alot of excess and it gets alittle difficult trying to place the collar correctly where it wont slide and not too loose.
